The Forest

 

Tunnel grows wider

Walking out of the forest

The light glows brighter

 

“All The World Is Green”

I fell into the ocean
When you became my wife
I risked it all against the sea
To have a better lifeMarie you’re the wild blue sky
And men do foolish things
You turn kings into beggars
And beggars into kingsPretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
We can bring back the old days again
And all the world is green

The face forgives the mirror
The worm forgives the plow
The questions begs the answer
Can you forgive me somehow?

Maybe when our story’s over
We’ll go where it’s always spring
The band is playing our song again
And all the world is green

Pretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
We can bring back the old days again
And all the world is green

The moon is yellow silver
Oh, the things that summer brings
It’s a love you’d kill for
And all the world is green

He is balancing a diamond
On a blade of grass
The dew will settle on our graves
When all the world is green

The Edge

Today I’ve written a quote, and then at the same time, I’ve converted the quote, into a Haiku. I’ll give you the quote first, then the Haiku

Quote: The Edge

 

“Life, is living on the edge

There’s no bottom nor top

Moving sideways is enough”   – Ivor Steven

 

Haiku: The Edge

 

Living on the edge

Moving sideways is enough

No bottom nor top
